TWU 100 to be fined $1 million a day for strike

Good news for the people of NYC as a state court found TWU Local 100, the transit workers, to be in contempt of court and will be $1 million a day for as long as the strike continues. In New York state, public sector workers are prohibited from going on strike.

That's fantastic news. The TWU is composed of uneducated monkeys that move trains around, a skill (and I use that term lightly) any simian could acquire in a day. They don't have to put a dime into their pension, can retire with full benefits at 55, and get free health benefits. And don't get me started with the chimps here in Boston. Beyond that, the city is fining every striking worker three days pay for every day s/he's on strike.

Break 'em, Bloomberg. They deserve it.

**UPDATE**

Read this to see just how outrageous the TWU transit strike is.

**UPDATE II**

It took the NYT awhile to get past its liberal, union-friendly roots to admit that the TWU made no attempt to compromise in its negotiations with the MTA.
